Tires: How wide can you go on stock ray wheels??

I think I have 285 35 in the back, not 285 30. The speedo is more accurate now than with stock tires. I have 265/35 in the front. (RE11)

Next year, I will do 285/35/19 all around. I will stretch the tire in the front, but my car is mostly used for track and autox. I don't have to use the car for commute. I can tell you there is plenty of understeer with the 265/285 setup, you are better off with 265 all around or 285 all around if you plan to race the car and want the car to handle better. God, I get all pi$$ed just thinking about the understeer.

Oh yeah, tire compound is way more important than tire sizing. A little RE11 can still do circles around big V12s. I have both tires on the two cars I own.

I just saw the specs on the RE11, the 275 they have are 30 series, so it might be a little small. I guess 275/30 all around isn't too bad either. Matter of fact, the extra gearing might help it pull off the corner.

I know it is hard to see, but I was struggling a lot harder with the 265/285 RE11 on my 370 vs 235 RA1 all around on my 350 at the same track.

Of course as much as I love the RE11s, they are expensive and probably wont last more than 15K.
